Just for the record, I hate you all sooooooo much.

Dusty complaining? That's unpossible.

http://www.nbc5.com/entertainment/8297496/detail.html It turns out a few people noticed Chris didn't quite do his own thing... Also who does everyone think is going to get knocked off of the show this week? I am guessing this is Lisa Tuckers week to go.

The coon-skin caps are a big possibility to as I see it.

And that's about as close as i am going to get to see it First opener since 1995, I am going to miss.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 09:16 AM) They didn't short him this week. They gave Carm the full share of the million. I don't know about the future. Ah. I thought they shorted her/Tony because they came in with two full shopping bags when they met up, but when Carm got the cash it was just in the one envelope.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 08:38 AM) He didn't. Didn't this week, or doesn't in the future?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 08:56 AM) Mario. Steak or pizza? Steak Bunt or swing away?

No big surprise there... it was pretty obvious Castro wasn't going to get back to us.

We are getting really close to some serious whacking going on in the family. It will be really interesting if/when Tony finds out that he got shorted by Pauly and company.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 12:23 PM) Autographed Jason Gage baseball. For whoever finishes in last place

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) Ughhh, Pods gets caught stealing. How do you get thrown out on Maddux? 0 for 3 stealing this week. Maddux's slide step is one of the quickest in all of MLB. Its really not that big of a surprise.

FYI, we are in the last stages of getting a couple more prizes for the contests this year... Stay tuned.

Restore the roar. One of these days... one of these days.

Everyone loves Chris Singleton... Now what is going on with the game???

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) About three minutes of the interview will be replayed on today's Mac, Jurko, and Harry broadcast. If you're interested, it should be on soon. That ought to be worth listening to. MacNeil is a nut for professionalism in broadcasting and LOVES to tear apart Levine. I'd appreciate hilights if anyone is listening.

Did he mention the 3 million tickets sold>?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) Iguchi's move to the 2-hole is now permanent according to ESPN 1000 and Ozzie. Glad to hear it. It sounds like Iguchi must have been trying to do too much powerhitting in the 6 slot, and I never really thought Uribe was the right guy to hit behind Pods.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Well BMAC barely tops 91 on a good day. Buehrle I would agree, he usually is around 89-90 with the heater. However, Buehrle hasn't been getting hammered so far, and he's a "finesse" guy. My point isn't so much that velocity drops aren't normal for spring training, in fact, I'm not saying that at all. What I am saying is that it's particulary alarming that a power pitcher comes into camp with a 5mph drop on his heater. It's even more alarming when that guy cant' find the play with his only other + pitch. Spring training my not mean much, but I'd at least like to see a few good outings from Jenks, or anyone on the staff. Every other picher, (other than Thornton) that is projected to make the roster has had their moments. Jenks has been uniformly bad all spring, and it's not like he's getting "unlucky"--he's just throwing meat. People have given plenty of examples of people both power and finese pitchers, whose velocity was way below their season norms. This might be the first time you noticed it, but it obviously is decently common. As for contral, that is usually worse than velocity as these guys haven't pitched in 4-5 months, and even more so for a guy who just rares back and brings it, vs a guy like Buehrle who is a spot pitcher.

In related news, Bruce read his sports illustrated, which led him to Soxtalk.com, where he came across this information... Bruce also stressed that the Cubs have already sold over 3 million tickets for the upcoming season while the Sox had only sold about 2.2 million Thanks Mr Obvious, you're a life saver.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) The prosecutor in this case suddenly wants to drop the charges, saying that the defendant is insane - in a convenient way to get out of the issue. However, the judge is refusing the motion and insisting the trial goes on. If this man is put to death, how should that affect our relationship with Afghanistan? Which this is a really smart political move because in the Koran, insanity is a reason not to put someone to death. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 09:44 AM) Well, it seems that there are legal conflicts the Afghans need to resolve - the Constitution allows for freedom to practice any religion, but also allows for Islam to be part of government function. In cases like this, how do you harmonize the 2? That's a tough question, Rex. I am not sure if it should effect our relationship with them at all. To be fair to them, in their eyes this is harmony. The Koran preaches for respect for those whose faiths are of Jewish and Christian backrounds, I believe they call them faiths of the book. Remember the Koran believes basically in the bible and includes lots of stuff from it. They just don't believe in Christ as as the son of God, he was a prophet, and they believe that Mohammeds preachings were the next chapter of the "bible", kind of like the new testament updated the old testament for Christians, and changed things around some. One of those changes was that conversion away from Islam was a mortal sin. They don't say being a Christian by itself is a mortal sin, in fact they command respect for them unless something else has happened.
